Wake Up



Wake up
Remember who you are
Rise up from the valley like a Superstar.
Look around
Remember where you stand
You got one foot planted in the promise land so
Wake up
Wake up

And all around you
Chaos reigns
As truth abandons
Hope remains
So be strong
For the coming fight
Leave the darkness
For the light and

Wake up
Remember who you are
Rise up from the valley like a Superstar.
Look around
Remember where you stand
You got one foot planted in the promise land so
Wake up
Wake up

And all around you
The World burns
The Rich get richer
And no-one learns
The lines are drawn
The call to arms
Raises more than
A few alarms so

Wake up
Remember who you are
Rise up from the valley like a Superstar.
Look around
Remember where you stand
You got one foot planted in the promise land so
Wake up
Wake up

And all around you
Nature screams
Pay attention
To your dreams
Seek the the answers
You would find
To know that you're
No longer blind and
Wake up
Remember who you are
Rise up from the valley like a Superstar.
Look around
Remember where you stand
You got one foot planted in the promise land so

Wake up
Remember who you are
Rise up from the valley like a Superstar.
Look around
Remember where you stand
You got one foot planted in the promise land so
Wake up
Wake up
